Banana Sour Cream Loaf Recipe:
Ingredients:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup sour cream
* 2 large eggs
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
* 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
* Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
4. Beat in the mashed bananas, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Stir in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips, if using.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
